Okay, what the fuck?

I've been updating various things with my new e-mail. Should go simple, right? Right, it should.

What's the one thing that's being a dick? LJ.

Update the e-mail notification for comments and such on LJ. It says I have to validate it. Okay, no problem says I. Only the goddamn validation e-mail is not showing up at my new address. Wait, says I, maybe something is slow on LJ today. It would not be the first time. So I check it by chaning the notification e-mail to my yahoo account. What happens? Why, the validation e-mail to my yahoo account shows up immediately.

Where is the validation e-mail to my roadrunner account? Nowhere to be goddamn seen.

I am becoming un-fucking-enamored with roadrunner with every minute that passes.

I know you already thought of this, but...maybe your spam folder? :)

[kierthos.livejournal.com]

Nope. And it's not something funky with Eudora either. I can send mail from anywhere else to my roadrunner account (from yahoo or wherever) and it gets there. From LJ, it just does not want to work.

And I have no idea why.

RR maybe have LJ blacklisted? You'd never see anything if RR bounced the LJ email before it got to you.

[kierthos.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm going to look into that. It will piss me off if it is.

[egearman.livejournal.com]

Shouldn't be it. Because I get LJ mail from RR all the time.

[kierthos.livejournal.com]

Aha! Shows what you know! It was being blacklisted, but apparently it's some weird blacklist where it's not universally applied to all of RoadRunner's e-mail accounts (just new ones, apparently).

Anyway, it's fixed now.

[egearman.livejournal.com]

Ok, but I've also had my RR account for something like 6 years. So if my memory of such is a little off, then so be it.

Eudora? Good lord man. That's like brushing your teeth with a bbq-sauce encrusted spatula.

I mean, IMHO anyway.

[kierthos.livejournal.com]

Beats checking three different web-mail accounts.

And it's not the virus-laden, spam-spewing piece of shit that is any version of Outlook.

[kierthos.livejournal.com]

True dat.

[jdack.livejournal.com]

No argument there. Outlook is old and busted.

I prefer Thunderbird for work mail. (IMAP only.)

Everything personal, Gmail.
